Getting started
Step
When a round begins you spawn on the platform alongside everyone else. The two things to learn are how to move your character and how to close the gap on an opponent to bump them.
- Move your character get comfortable with the controls
- Read the room glance around to see where other players are
- Close the gap move toward an opponent until you are close enough to bump them
- Watch your footing avoid drifting too close to the edge while you focus on enemies
Common problems and how to fix them
Check
If you are getting knocked out faster than you would like, run through this list before your next round.
- Cannot knock anyone off make sure you are actually close enough before you try to bump
- Getting eliminated immediately look around for groups of players about to surround you
Tactics for lasting longer
TipsBecause up to 12 players share the platform at the same time, fights are chaotic and threats can come from any direction.
- Stay near the center of the platform so you have room to maneuver in any direction
- Do not lock onto one target and ignore the rest — someone else will bump you from behind
- Make your bumps count by only committing when your opponent is already close to the edge
